Have a mixed diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, low fat milk products; limit foods with saturated fats; no tobacco and no more than one alcoholic drink a day; exercise about 30 minutes/day for maintaining good health.

Extreme anemia:
Wow! That's an extraordinarily low hemoglobin level; she may be lucky to be alive. Such extreme anemia certainly could cause altered mental function and other neurological symptoms, but so could the thing(s) that might cause the anemia, like blood loss, iron or folate (folic acid) deficiency, etc, etc. Discuss with her doctor(s). Good luck to her.

Talk to neuro:
Eeg results are inscrutable. From the sounds of it, it doesn't sound very impressive, but truthfully, the neurologist will make better sense of this. Whether this is something to pay attention to, or just a normal sleepy variant, your neurologist will give you a definitive answer.

Not likely:
This is a bit unusual. In a condition known as hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (hpfe) there is an elevated amount of fetal hemoglobin present. This is reported as af, as there is always more HGB a than f present, unless you have thalassemia trait as well. If mom is not anemic, shouldn't be a problem. Not sure what testing was done to demonstrate that dad is aa rather than a/thal though.

Laws of genetics:
When a woman with Down's Syndrome forms gametes (unfertilized eggs), all the chromosomes except #21 will split evenly. Since Down's Syndrome means three copies of chromosome 21 (by dehfinition), the chromosome cannot split "evenly" - half will have 1 copy (normal); the other half will have 2 copies (Down's syndrome carrier). These will pair with 1 copy (usually) of Chromosome 21 from the father.

See below:
No, not necessarily. 20to 30% of patients can have a false positive ANA where there is no autoimmune. Without knowing what context this was drawn in---i.E your symtpoms, history, and other labs, it is difficult to give a complete answer, except to say to see a rheumatologist in order to have this reviewed.

Trait or?:
It is important to know if this is beta thalassemia trait or disease. With a hb of 9.2 it is likely the trait which does not require treatment. Ask her doctor if it this is trait or disease. This can be determined from the electrophoresis if it is the disease she need to be followed by a good pediatric hematologist.

TSH in 57 M:
You say you are a F of 44. You are not to ask questions here about another person. Please have him ask it.
Anyway you should always ask the lab that did the test what is the normal range as different labs may use different assay methods and "normals" can vary between labs.

Bleed vs diet:
serumiron does not reflect the body's total iron stores. Ferritin is by far more important. The serum iron is useful for calculating the percentage of saturation of iron in the iron binding capacity (transferrin level). In your daughter's age group it usually is from inadequate iron in diet. However, chronic bleeding into the G.I. tract must be excluded by testing stool for blood.

469 or 480:
469 is within lab data but if you are concerned please contact your primary doctor.

Were any other lab studies done,? If so, what were the results?

Rubella IGG:
This is good news. It means that you had rubella, aka german measles, in the past and are now immune to it and so cannot fall sick with it during your pregnancy. This is important since getting rubella while pregnant is dangerous for the growing baby. Best wishes for a very healthy baby.

A little low...:
His hemoglobin level should be about 12, so he is a little low. The most common reason for a low red blood cell level in this age is iron deficiency. Getting a toddler to eat foods rich in iron (green leafy vegetables, red meat, beans, lentils) can be a little challenging, but it is important for his development. Also limiting milk intake can help. Talk with his health provider.

Teething & Fever:
Fevers, diarrhea, rashes and all sort of things have been attributed to teething, but no scientific evidence exists that teething causes anything other than pain and discomfort. Fever is usually caused by an infection. Your pediatrician can help you sort this out.
